Using wetting and ultrasonic waves to extract oil from oil/water mixtures
Yifan Li, Jesus M. Marcos, Mark Fasano +4
Oil and water placed atop of a solid surface respond differently to a MHz-level surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagating in the solid due to their different surface wetting properti…
Modeling the dynamics of an oil drop driven by a surface acoustic wave in the underlying substrate
M. Fasano, Y. Li, J. A. Diez +4
We present a theoretical study, supported by simulations and experiments, on the spreading of a silicone oil drop under MHz-frequency surface acoustic wave (SAW) excitation in the…
Stochastic Modeling of Filtration with Sieving in Graded Pore Networks
Binan Gu, Pejman Sanaei, Lou Kondic +1
We model filtration of a feed solution, containing both small and large foulant particles, by a membrane filter. The membrane interior is modeled as a network of pores, allowing fo…
Monte-Carlo based model for the extraction of oil from oil-water mixtures using wetting and surface acoustic waves
Jesús. M. Marcos, Yifan Li, Mark Fasano +4
This work presents a Monte Carlo (MC) based microscopic model for simulating the extraction of oil from oil-in-water emulsions under the influence of surface acoustic waves (SAWs).…
